Item Condition

I grade products as honestly as possible and depict blemishes in both description and photos—please study them carefully. I tend to be overcritical and customers report items to be in better shape than expected often. From best condition to worst condition, my grading scale is as follows. Mint / near mint+ / near mint / excellent+ / excellent / great / very good / average / fair.

Description

Released in 1981 just before the better known Mountech, this was cutting edge technology for the touring and mountain bike world! It was Suntour's attempt of chasing down the Huret DuoPar.  There isn't a ton of info on this derailleur out there, but it had one feature that made it superior to the Mountech.  The guide pulley on the Le Tech is a standard replaceable jockey wheel, while the Mountech had that explosive proprietary guide pulley that self destructs when it gets gunked up.

This is a fairly rare derailleur, and was only made for a couple years.
